Ketling

A ketling is a big grasshopper-like creature native to Cricket. It has a ridged back, layers of sharp-edged wings, antennae and thin hairs around its mouth and underneath its belly. It also has a goo sac filled with a sour-smelling, green, oily liquid beneath its jaw. The goo becomes spawn once it is fertilized.

In their dormant phase, ketling cluster in the crags and only engage when provoked. When they swarm, which happens for a few days every two years or so, they fly out and chew on everything.

Ketling is a food source for the inhabitants of Cricket.
